we were talking the whole time

This is such a good sign.

I came in here last night looking to squee about Boondocks but I wasn't sure where to post. That was an episode worth waiting for. I think the theatre was modeled on The Grove in Los Angeles.

Anansi - Oooo that sounds promising! Good luck with setting up the 2nd date. I guess it's true... #5 IS alive!! Yipee!

ND, Kayak.com RULES! I knew it was a good thing to ask in here. :: Squee ::

I will point out that San Diego just got free wireless internet about a month ago. But that can't be close for you to leave from... Still, it's made me happy given how often I have been there recently. PDX to and from SAN just got a lot nicer for passing the time you have to spend in airports.

Alas, the laptop I have access to is works, and they don't like me to take it out of work zone, lest it get lost, stolen, broken, what not. So I'll be in an airport sans net... and vaca, sans net. O ya, I forgot to mention, my mom is coming along (it's for my bro-in-law retirement party), and mom wants to fly together. FUN! (sigh). Maybe I should get the iPhone. Can I return it in a month?

(You draw a wee star, and then note something GOOD about the work. And again. [and perhaps again and again, depending.] Then a wee magic wand, and note something that would help their next piece of work be better.)

I LOVE this approach. I’m totally stealing it.

I'm not only incapable of spelling number with the pound symbol, I can't spell okay with only two letters.

And this is why we love you!

Grammar and spelling are total dealbreakers for me. Which is why I try to meet people in person. Too few of them meet my criteria on something like Craigslist. :)

See, I try to cut some slack, because my spelling SUCKS. But, on the other hand, very few people know that my spelling sucks, because I spell check EVERYTHING (including my posts here) except IM. So, if I can figure out a way to keep people from knowing that my spelling sucks, then I figure other people should be able to figure out how to do that too. So, there.

Speaking of my father, he just called and offered to take K-Bug back east to checkout Northeastern and University of New England.

Oh, yay! K-Bug in my state!

Yay for #5, PC!

I woke up to six student papers in my e-mail box. Silly students! I hope they all get my comments before they have to turn their papers in. I almost set my alarm for midnight for that very reason, but then my sanity returned.

Good morning!

Anansi: PC, glad to hear that #5 is not a dud. I look forward to hearing about the next meeting

I almost set my alarm for midnight for that very reason, but then my sanity returned.

Good for you! Their failure to plan =/= your emergency.

Anansi Boys is a book by Neil Gaiman that talks about how it's cool that P-C's meeting didn't go too poorly. Also, about how he wasn't boring, I'm sure. Or maybe it's about something else? I forget.

Kayak.com actually figured in a dream of mine last night. Which is so weird, I'm not even going to try to explain it.

ok, how said is this. In order to survive a weekend with the family, sans computer/internet PLUS on a plane.... I'm considering buying an iPhone for net browsing, videos, music, etc. is that sad? Does an iPhone fit in the JBL On Stage dock/speakers? Or is it too wide?

If I keep thinking like this, I won't be debt free by xmas. Is there a cheaper way to do pocket internet? I'd have to do via cell phone either way, right? So if I am, might as well upgrade to iPhone that comes with data package?!?

Someone make me go to bed!

:: steps away from the internet ::

Omnis, go to bed! Think about this in the "morning."

Ack! All y'all better get some rest. A pox on all your insomnia (but not on you)! The only reason I'm up this early is that the cats were PURRRRRRRRRing at me. This is not the same purrrrrrrrring they do when I'm getting into bed in the first place. This is the PURRRRRR of "Wake up and feed us, lazy human! You've been in bed for four hours, that should be more than enough for anyone. Hurry it up!"

We're going to do a wedding registry today because my family has been bugging me about it. I want to register for a couple of good knives, but I don't really know what is good. Any recommendations? Preferably at Macy's or Linens n Things?

I like Henckels. Steph is the person to ask though, I think.
